The re-growth and tillering is rapid and it can grow 50mm a day to a height of 3m. Multicut has been bred to surpass many of the existing hybrids in dry matter production, protein and energy content, disease and drought tolerance. It also has rapid re-growth under heavy grazing and unfavourable growing conditions.
